Kalita2 1Department of Earth Science, University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya, India 2Professor, Department of Earth Science, University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya, India Abstract: Songs, instruments and dance- the collaboration of these three ingredients makes the music of any region or society. Folk music is one of the integral facet of culture which also poses all the essentials of music. The instruments used in folk music are divided into four halves-taat (string instruments), aanodha(instruments covered with membrane), Ghana (solid or the musical instruments which struck against one another) and sushir(wind instruments)(Sharma,1996). Out of these four, Ghana and sushirvadyas are being preferred to be played by female artists. Ghana vadyas include instruments like taal,junuka etc. and sushirvadyas include instruments that can be played by blowing air from the mouth like flute,gogona, hkhutuli etc. Women being the most essential part of the society are also involved in the process of shaping up the culture of a region. In the society of Assam since ancient times till date women plays a vital role in the folk music that is bihugeet. At times Assamese women in groups used to celebrate bihu in open spaces or within forest areas or under big trees where entry of men was totally prohibited and during this exclusive celebration the women used to play aforesaid instruments and sing bihu songs describing their life,youth and relation with the environment.

  • Arts-Integrated Learning
    ARTS-INTEGRATED LEARNING THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE AND JOYFUL PEDAGOGY The NCF 2005 states, ”Aesthetic sensibility and experience being the prime sites of the growing child’s creativity, we must bring the arts squarely into the domain of the curricular, infusing them in all areas of learning while giving them an identity of their own at relevant stages. If we are to retain our unique cultural identity in all its diversity and richness, we need to integrate art education in the formal schooling of our students for helping them to apply art-based enquiry, investigation and exploration, critical thinking and creativity for a deeper understanding of the concepts/topics. This integration broadens the mind of the student and enables her / him to see the multi- disciplinary links between subjects/topics/real life. Art Education will continue to be an integral part of the curriculum, as a co-scholastic area and shall be mandatory for Classes I to X. Please find attached the rich cultural heritage of India and its cultural diversity in a tabular form for reading purpose.

  • Issues and Prospects of the Women Handloom Weaver: a Smaller-Scale Level Investigation of Lakhimpur Locale in Assam
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 04, 2020 ISSUES AND PROSPECTS OF THE WOMEN HANDLOOM WEAVER: A SMALLER-SCALE LEVEL INVESTIGATION OF LAKHIMPUR LOCALE IN ASSAM Budhindra Nath Gohain Dibrugarh University, Dibrugrah, Assam, India. Abstract: The paper investigates the issues and prospects of Handloom Weavers of the Lakhimpur region in Assam for the financial upliftment of the individuals. Ladies overwhelm the handloom weaving occupation in Assam yet men are likewise partaking in weaving like other spots of India and ladies are associated with pre-weaving exercises. The ladies' handloom weaver in Assam plays out various jobs to create handloom items. Ladies weaver of Assam laid their hard work in working physically. As a casual segment occupation, the ladies weaver jams culture and legacy to delivering customary materials in Assam. The Handloom area assumes a considerable job in India's economy. It is a small amount of culture and legacy of a customary society in India and the biggest limit of retaining pay sources after the agrarian field for country individuals. The Assamese indigenous network has a rich custom of weaving. An Assamese lady, regardless of being occupied with horde family exercises as the day progressed, is probably going to invest some energy in her loom each day. The ladies make articles of clothing, for the most part for regular use, on handlooms. They additionally weave tasteful items for unique events. Be that as it may, presently a day's Assamese ladies weave for the business reason as well. The customary toss transport loom is built under the conventional brace house.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

  • An Overview of Impact of Modern Technology on Assamese Culture, Language and Literature
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 01, 2020 An overview of impact of modern technology on Assamese culture, language and literature Anurupa Chutia Assistant Professor, Department of Assamese,Dhemaji College,Assam, India Abstract It is an acknowledged and well known fact that Modern technology has a direct interference in every walk of human life in today’s world. Owing to the landmark developments that modern technology has achieved in recent decades, these technological revolutions have left their mark on almost everything, including language and literature. The recent scientific-technological revolutions of human civilization have had a significant impact on Assamese language and literature as well. In this paper, I will try to discuss how the modern technology has affected Assameseculture, language and literature in both negatively and positively on one hand, while on the other I would like to address its impact on literary forms of this rich language. Key words:- Assamese language, medium, education, mother tongue, regional language, Corresponding author:[email protected] 1.0 Introduction:- Assam is one of the Eight Sister states of northeastern India. Known for its rich culture and dive rse population, the culture of Assam is a fusion of Indo Burmese, Mongolian and Aryan influences. This beautiful land, known as the 'land of red rivers and blue hills' is a little paradise with untouched natural landscapes worth to be traversed for its pristine beauty. The people of the state are collectively called Axomiyas and the language Axomiya (Assamese) which is also the most widely spoken official state language. No doubt, Assam is the meeting ground of diverse cultures.
